Building on the successes of past executives, I aspire, with the support of the incoming executive team, to contribute to the growth of this organization.

Our collective goal is to foster an environment where Science students can maximize their experience and growth during their time at the University of Malta.

Equal access for all students

Given that foreign and Gozitan students often go home during the weekends and holiday periods, they are at more of a disadvantage being that they’re unable to make use of the computer labs.

Among the software that is needed, students must also purchase equipment such as DSLR cameras for particular study units, with no additional stipend being given.

MKSA and SACES assert that any student making use of Adobe Software in order to pursue their course and education should have free access.

SACES emphasises the fact that softwares such as Adobe are relied on by students and advocates for all to receive free access to Adobe Software. They refer to “creative and academic potential” of students at the university being negatively impacted through the “unequal access” to needed resources.

Adobe products are labelled as “vital” and maintaining clear communication about changes to the availabilities of the resources is a must. According to SACES, these measures will ensure that various educational needs are met, across different areas of study.

Petition to show support

In a statement given by Kris Bajada, student representative on the University of Malta Council, supporting the petition is a priority in order to ensure “students receive what they require” and “rightfully deserve”. The need to unite and support student struggles is highlighted as it’s pointed out that one student’s struggles can impact all those at university.

Bajada states that university students form a “community of learners” who try to get the most out of the resources offered to students. Providing free access to Adobe Software will strengthen those resources.

The statement mentions that being able to attain the objective of access to Adobe Software will serve as an impactful message which directly proves that unity leads to achievements.

All students are encouraged to support the petition to show that this is not only a want, but a necessity.

Following The Third Eye’s AGM on Monday 13 October, Giulia Debattista Montalto was elected as the organisation’s new president for the term 2023/24.

Farewell to the Past TTE Team

The AGM was a great way for the previous TTE team to commemorate the unique experiences that stemmed from this journey. From an incredible video of the best highlights crafted by Matthew Schembri, to the sentimental and yet inspiring speeches provided by Martina Farrugia and Waleed, to the election of the new executive, this night was a cornerstone of this university chapter for everyone who attended the AGM.

We thought we would switch things up in this AGM and ask remarks from the ex-president and then transition to the new executive for the upcoming term.

Q: What has The Third Eye meant to you in the past two years?

The Third Eye was and will always be the place where I met, formed and continuously fought with my second family, the chosen family. Speaking on behalf of everyone, it was a journey to find ourselves, find our passion and creativity in the midst of all the chaos, as well as stand for what we believe in.

Waleed Alhweeshel

The Third Eye’s Future

Read what Giulia, who is extremely eager to embark on a journey of embodying the presidential role, had to say as she leads the new executive, for the upcoming term.

My first 2 years with The Third Eye have been a roller coaster, with many ups and downs. But every moment was a truly beautiful adventure that I am so grateful I got to experience with the old Executive. And I am looking forward to building a relationship just as close-knight with the new executive and seeing what new adventures will come our way

Giulia Debattista Montalto, The Third Eye President

Final Goodbyes from the previous Content Team

With a heartfelt goodbye we wish the new executive, especially Jazmin as she leads the new Content team, the best of luck – Ex-Content Team (Martina & Luke).
